The support of both Senator Barkley and Senator M. M. Logan will be sought, and it is hoped that the Ballard proposal may be presented, directly to the President. The appropriation for migratory bird sanctuaries has already been approved, as a part of the government's effort to conserve wild life, and also as a part of the Civilian Conservation "Corps program.

Adherents of Governor Ruby Laffoon were backing former Sen ator W. E.

Rogers, Representative' elect from Todd county. Dr. A. L. Hill of Prestonsburg, Representa tive from Floyd county, withdipw receritir asacaridiaate'Tdr' Ipeaker' to enter the race for House caucus chairman and floor leader.

Dr. Hill supported administration policies at the 1932 and 1933 sessions. Withdrawal of Dr. J. B.

Floyd of Richmond, Representative from Madison county, as a candidate for speaker, was interpreted as indicating anti administration leaders had agreed upon Kelly J. Francis of Stanford, Representative from Lincoln county, as candidate for speaker. Francis opposed the administration sales tax pro posal at the last two sessions but he is regarded as an independent rather than as a member, of any party faction.

Gov.

Governor Laffoon followers say they are confident of organizing the House and believe they have a chance' of organizing the Sen ate.

These claim are disouted, however, by members of the party faction led by Lieut. Gov. A. B. Chandler, I Senator Allie Young.

She was a true "Minerva" of 10,000 years ago and an Amazon as well.

Her brain capacity was 1430 cubic centimenters as against 1,300 for the average young woman of today and 1,450 for modern man, and though only 20 years old she stood nearly sfcs feet tall better than the average for modern girls of toe same age. Study of this and other skeletons of the old stone age shows that new measurements of the many bones of ancient man now In museums may greatly clarify the mystery of the origin cf the present human race, said Prof. Gerhanit von Eonin of the University of IHnois.
